           Everyone is Now a Two-Dimensional Religious Image

News writers are dull, almost catatonic
Dispensing metaphors soporifically phonic
For in their world of the cliched and ironic
Every topic, every person is invariably

                                                     ­       Iconic

                           You Can’t Unpack a Poem

You can’t unpack a poem; it’s not your luggage
Or the metaphorical carry-on of your spirit
Homeland Security doesn’t search your poetry
It isn’t stamped “Passed by Inspector #3”

You can’t unpack a poem; it’s not even yours
If you read it, it was given to you
If you write it, you send it to the world
And beyond the world, out into the universe

You can never unpack a poem because
Poetry is not luggage - it is life

Enough of gossamer!  Enough of it!
It’s just another word for spider ////!
